Review: An awesome Nikkor lens with versatile range - I really hate how everyone whines and complains about distortion with this lens. From the comparison shots I've taken it's not that noticeable unless you get super nit picky about it. This lens is a versatile zoom lens meant for everyday use. It's not meant for studio work as far as I can tell. For one thing it's slow in low light, F3.5 to me is way to slow for studio work. Not to mention all low cost wide angle lenses distort in one way or another. For studio, portrait, and portfolio shots you should be getting a straight 50mm lens with F1.4 or 1.8. It's only a $100 lens and cuts out any distortion and is closest to the human eye's focal range. I would not use this for serious architecture work either. Any 35mm or DSLR camera will give you a huge angular distortion, this is where a 4x5 film camera comes in. *at least half of the people giving this lens a bad review just said "duh what?"* With a large format camera you can line up angles perfectly with the camera, not to mention you get the sharpest image you'll ever need. Photoshop does the same thing by enabling you to fudge the angles. IMO the sub $500 Digital SLR equipment is meant for immediacy, it's meant for you to be able to bang out thousands of images without breaking the bank. It's not meant for making perfect architecture shots or professional grade studio shots, and thats not what I expect from it. The bane of being a photographer is to have multiple sets of equipment. A DSLR for the ability to bang out multiple shots with a wide focal range lens, a 35mm or DSLR with a nice 50mm lens for studio portraits and proof work, and a large format camera for those perfect crystal clear architecture shots. Pros: -This is a relatively cheap lens in the grand scheme of things -It has a versatile focal range -Quick focus in medium to high light level -Quiet operation -Build quality is nice. Cons: -Ok it distorts, but it's so subtle that I doubt a normal human will care. -It does aggravate me that this does not have a focus range indicator, the 18-70DX and the 18-200VR has one why not this model? -Also when in manual the focus ring slides past the min and max focusing points, I like a focus ring that clicks in and stops when I get to min and max focus. -The lens wasn't free These are minor cons compared to the gains you get, it allows an amateur or student to have a full range lens for a reasonable price. I'm a BFA Photo student fresh out of college BTW so this lens is perfect for me. If you are a "Professional Photographer" you shouldn't even be considering this lens. It's definitely not professional grade, it's for us who are at an intermediate level where we can't spend a fortune on 1 lens. I have heard that this model has a tendency to fail in one way or another, I have had it for 2 weeks and it's still working for me. I'll check back if it does fail. However I bought mine brand spanking new with the 5 year extended nikon warranty. I know nikon service is a pain but it's worth it if you're still under warranty. UPDATE: 2 years later and the lens is still going strong, haven't had any problems with it except dust... But you can't get around that. Review: Major step up from a kit lens - Excellent walkaround lens. Nice zoom range. The aperture is a little on the small size and it would benefit from anti-vibration, but again, with a used price of $125ish, it's a great bargain. Very sharp images, probably as good as you will find under $700. Certainly a better choice than any other step-up lens, even the VR versions of the 18-200 or 18-300. Might be a little heavy on a D40, but balances nicely on a D300. Solid construction. ## Features - Versatile, High power 7.5x Zoom Nikkor lens - A Nikon Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass element delivers superior optical performance - Focus as close as 1.47 feet throughout entire zoom range - A seven blade rounded diaphragm opening, out of focus elements appear more natural - 67 millimeter Filter attachment size ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000HJPK0Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,429 in SLR Camera Lenses | | Brand | Nikon | | Camera Lens | Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - White Box(Bulk Packaging) | | Camera Lens Description | Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - White Box(Bulk Packaging) Camera Lens Description Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - White Box(Bulk Packaging) See more | | Color | black | | Compatible Camera Mount | Nikon F (DX) | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible Mountings | Nikon F (DX) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 199 Reviews | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic | | Focal Length Description | 18-135 millimeters | | Focus Type | Micro-type ultrasonic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00018208021628 | | Image stabilization | digital,optical | | Item Part Number | JAA796DA | | Item Weight | 385 Grams | | Lens | Telephoto | | Lens Coating Description | Super Integrated Coating | | Lens Design | Zoom | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 135 Millimeters | | Lens Mount | Nikon F | | Lens Type | Telephoto | | Manufacturer | Nikon | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2162 | | Maximum Focal Length | 135 Millimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Aperture | 22.0 | | Minimum Focal Length | 18 Millimeters | | Model Name | NK3518GEDOB | | Model Number | B000HJPK0Y | | Number of Diaphragm Blades | 7 | | Photo Filter Size | 67 Millimeters | | Real Angle Of View | 28.6 Degrees | | UPC | 018208021628 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 7.5:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nikon - **Compatible Mountings:** Nikon F (DX) - **Focal Length Description:** 18-135 millimeters - **Lens Type:** Telephoto ## Images ![18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - White Box(Bulk Packaging) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Hi6BVQLfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An awesome Nikkor lens with versatile range *by R***P on April 9, 2008* I really hate how everyone whines and complains about distortion with this lens.

The aperture is a little on the small size and it would benefit from anti-vibration, but again, with a used price of $125ish, it's a great bargain. Very sharp images, probably as good as you will find under $700. Certainly a better choice than any other step-up lens, even the VR versions of the 18-200 or 18-300. Might be a little heavy on a D40, but balances nicely on a D300. Solid construction. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition *by S***E on December 25, 2020* This lens is a great addition to my other lenses. It serves as a go between to my other lenses. It will be the one attached to my camera most often. The product arrived sooner that expected. Due to inclement weather I have not had much time to be out and about taking photos. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - White Box(Bulk Packaging) - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - BM Premium 2 Pack of EN-EL15B Batteries and Dual Battery Charger for Nikon Z6, Z7, D780, D850, D7500, 1 V1, D500, D600, D610, D750, D800, D800E, D810, D810A, D7000, D7100, D7200 Digital Cameras --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1820192-18-135mm-f-3-5-5-6g-ed-if-af](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1820192-18-135mm-f-3-5-5-6g-ed-if-af) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
